Hi Darren,
You made a very good video. I was also happy to see that you mention ROLLING to avoid assignment, and receiving a net credit.
It is very rare to see a video about option selling that includes the choice of ROLLING.

At the 9:48 time stamp, you described what a call option is.
"Selling a CALL option provides the right to sell the underlying stock at the strike price should that strike price be reached prior the expiration date of the option contract."

I have just one critique regarding your description of Selling a CALL option.
Your description, as worded, implies that the SELLER of the CALL option has the RIGHT to sell the stock, to the call option BUYER, at the strike price.
If that were true, then it would follow that the SELLER would also have the right to NOT sell their shares when their call becomes in the money.
THIS IS NOT CORRECT.

Selling a CALL option provides the BUYER of the call, the right to BUY your shares at the strike price. This is why it is referred to as having your shares "called" away.
It wasn't the SELLERS choice, it was the BUYERS choice.
The SELLER of the call can not make the decision to force a BUYER to buy their shares, the BUYER of the call option, makes that decision.
The BUYER can also make the decision to SELL their call option, rather than exercise their call option.

What the SELLER of the call option CAN do, is, let the call expire, either in the money, or out of the money, OR, before the market closes on expiration day, roll the same call strike out to a farther expiration, for a net credit, OR roll the call strike up one strike, or more strikes, and out to a farther expiration, either for a loss, or for a net credit.

Perhaps when you made the graphic, you conflated the description of a PUT, with a CALL.
When SELLING a put, you give the BUYER of the put, the right to sell you the shares, ("put" the shares on you), should the strike price be breached.

One small correction in a 10 second segment, out of a very good, 17 minute video.
I only brought it up because it is important for people new to option, understand what their rights, and their obligations are, when placing an option CONTRACT.

I watch a lot of options vids, how to..., strategies..., pit falls, etc.

Your point of view hits on some things that sort of puts it all together, thanks for sharing!!

With PMCC, you can be a buyer and seller. It is the best strategy out there.

I have to say you need to be very good in TA ...and a sniper in scalping in order to be successful in buying options. One also needs to understand market structure, liquidity of demand and supply and market internal. It is much more difficult to be successful on the buy side but the reward is great if one puts in a lot of time and effort to master this craft.

Hi Darren, just discovered your channel. Really enjoyed your content. So far I have been doing the wheel strategy and spreads for the current market. Been doing well so far. But I would like to learn more in depth the poor man's covered call and strangles/straddles.

[moneyminute]

Thanks for the info. I really learnt a lot. will share.

[aureliuzz]

Amazing channel.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge, mr Darren.

Could you please make videos about the cash settled, European style, index options ? XSP, XND, MRUT.... SPX, NDX, RUT.

Thanks!

[RogueAutumn]

If you do this strategy cash settled options, you don’t have to worry about early assignment.

[islandgirl]

Hello…I very much appreciated your SPX selling vertical spread idea video …can you do more on that topic? Much appreciated 😊

Brokerages are not insured by FDIC. Instead they insured by SIPC for up to half a million. Plus big brokerages have extra private insurance setup for a lump sum to cover all assets under management.

Im a dummy that works with his hands. Thanks! Liked and subscribed. I am new to this stuff and thank you for explaining in such a clear concise way!

[MultiBrookman]

Now you got a better entry point for target.

THIS strategy is HEAVENLY in a bull market, but in a bear market it will make you lose a lot of your capital (ask me how i know).

[mamuddublin]

Thank for the update... <I will advise traders, especially newbies, to have an orientation of the market before getting involved. I must say trading offers more benefits than just holding, thanks to Gustavo Hillard for always keeping me ahead of the trend, so glad I started his program.

[richardbaxter]

LMAO! Is your title really "no one told you about??" So selling Put's nor the wheel strategy has never been told? Oh and collecting $227 with a BP reduction of $14, 273 seems daft. I'm out..

[douglasteachout]

No one told you about? There is absolutely nothing new in this video. This is very basic Options 101 stuff.
